“You have an appointee information sheet in your packet,”
said County Manager Joe Pritchard, and that’s all we learned about
Michael Smith, who did not appear to speak, either,
at yesterday morning’s Work Session.
County Chairman Bill Slaughter did encourage the Commissioners
to send in information sheets on any other nominees they might come up with
for the Tourism Authority
before tonight’s 5:30 PM voting Regular Session.
He did not encourage the public to apply.
But if you want to, here is
the application form.

Why does the county leave us guessing and not just name who resigned,
and say who Michael Smith is?
Maybe they’ll say at the Lowndes County Commission Work Session this morning at 8:30 AM,
or maybe when they vote tomorrow at 5:30 PM.

News about
the Naylor Boat Ramp in
an Engineering Projects Report!
Chad McLeod also reported about the 911 center,
the North Lowndes Soccer Complex,
the fire warehouse classroom,
the animal shelter,
and
the courthouse renovation project,
all still to be completed from SPLOST VII funds, which run out next year.
Even with that three-and-a-half-minute special engineering report, the whole meeting took ten minutes Monday morning.

Here is more info on this project which I am proud to bring to the community and which I believe will be a wonderful addition to it that all will feel proud to have. It ties into the community roots, it honors those that came before, and it meets a need today in north Lowndes County and does so in a wall all can feel proud of. I am a concerned citizen like anyone else and that is a big part of why I have gone out of my way with my engineer and planners to create something not only compliant, but that goes well above the line to bring something truly beautiful, that reflects both my family and my community in a way I can hold my up about when I walk around the community. Thank you for your interest. Sincerely, Chris Connell http://www.mcnealestates.com
